Testimonial

"After nearly 30 years teaching swift water rescue and having seen earlier "Frisbee" devices, I was one of the skeptics regarding the Personal Retriever. However, after having used it in a wide variety of conditions ranging up to Class IV whitewater, I am a convert. It is user friendly; works well even in fast-moving water; and since victims in floods virtually NEVER have flotation, supplants the throw bag as the device of first choice in such situations. I would recommend a Personal Retriever on all first in fire apparatus and the trunks of all police cars."
